what a load of crap ...

from today's Washington Slimes:

No Nerds Here
We're glad to see, given all the talk this week about gay "marriages," that real men are back in Washington.

The September 2003 issue of the American Enterprise is all about men — the return of the manly politician, how Democrat and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill are different breeds, what women want from men, manly art, the hunting male, why maleness is back in fashion, how feminism has undermined masculinity and what President Bush, Donald H. Rumsfeld, Rudolph W. Giuliani and Dick Cheney all have in common.

The magazine also invited six spirited women into its offices, among them author and syndicated columnist Mona Charen and National Review Washington Editor Kate O'Beirne, to talk about the condition of the male species.

Our favorite question: "Why are there so many wimpy male journalists?"

Miss Charen: "Because they're liberals. Not to say there aren't some conservative wimps. But conservatives never really bought into the notion of androgyny or into feminism, and so conservative men never felt the need to abandon their manliness. Liberal men, on the other hand, thought that was being enlightened. So, since most journalists are liberal [89 percent in Washington, according to a Freedom Forum poll] a lot of them are wimpy."

Miss O'Bierne: "It goes back to how these journalists spent their high school years, which I assume was being stuffed into lockers by other males. This also explains the whole media love affair with John McCain. He created a fighter pilot ready-room in the back of his bus and told off-color jokes and brought these former high school nerds into the circle of the cool guy. They were so thrilled that one of the jocks was finally paying attention to them that they just swooned."

[please don't accuse me of reading the Washington Slimes -- I got this clip via email ... I used to take a copy from my office to line the bottom of my parrot's cage -- about all it's good for]

This is such a stupid article that the most compelling question I can pose is what kind of parrot do you have?

I'm not even going to dignify this with a response.
Well, crap... I guess this is a response... so that frees me to go psycho over this

That just fuggin hurts. I didn't realize that enjoying the taste of cock makes me not a real man.

Bullcrap! I'm a feminist, but I'm hardly un-manly... unless a requirement for manliness is a penchant for slapping the bitches up or making them cook for me.


Does having pretentious pricks for "journalists" really sell newspapers? Garr!

I know lots of conservatives. Some of my best friends are conservatives. They're not all particularly manly. Right on most issues, yes. But manly? No.

you guys get three guesses on what kind of guy a harpy like Mona Charen has for a husband.

Think an uber-be-atch like her is married to a "manly, macho" man who keeps a woman in her place?

Mona Charen and Kate O'Bierne-now there are a couple of MANLY woMEN if I ever saw any eek! eek! .You could say they put the MAN in woman. :cool:

I hear the call of the Quayle! wink
